These lesson plans are available for a variety of grade levels and subject areas. Plans are modular and contain both UnPlugged Activities and hands-on code-alongs that promote and reinforce computational thinking.

Designed with inclusivity, cultural relevance, social justice and regional curriculum in mind, these coding & robotics programs are offered free to K-12 classrooms across subject areas.

These lesson ideas can be used to teach the key Digital Technology concepts.

This project was created for use in AP-CSA at Baraboo High School after about a month of learning FuP, Fundamentals of Programming. Below is a list of recommended skills prior to attempting this project. Boilerplate and Scanner code are provided. Students are not taught how to code within the directions of this project. This project provides students an opportunity to apply and practice what they have already learned. Instructions are provided with steps suggested to complete this project.

Repl.it is an online Java IDE ideal for classrooms as it’s free and works within a browser, even on low powered Chromebooks. Creating a Repl allows embedding a working console executing Java code on a website. This is impressive for the senior exit portfolio as many projects created in AP-CSA are complex and abstract and hard to demonstrate to the general public.

Google Sites will be the platform used to publish this project. Detailed step by step instructions on how to embed a Repl onto a website is provided. Google Sites can be created for free by creating a Google Account.

Coding Experience Recommended for this project:

Boilerplate Code
System.out.print()
Variables
Conditionals and Booleans
Iteration (especially while loops)
Coding Experience Suggested for this project:

Scanner (Scanner code provided)
String Handling
Google Sites (Detailed instructions provided)

The Teach Computing Curriculum is broken down into 4 key stages: Ages 5-7, Ages 7-11, Ages 11-14, and Ages 14-16.

Curriculum Information:
- Resources include lesson plans, slides, activity sheets, homework, and assessments
- Each key stage has a teacher guide and curriculum map to help you get started
- Built around an innovative progression framework where computing content has been organized into interconnected networks we call learning graphs
- Created by subject experts, using the latest pedagogical research and teacher feedback
All of the content is free for you to use, and in formats that make it easy for you to adapt it to meet the needs of your learners
